Greetings all

Overcast today. Scrabble was fun even though I lost two and one one. All very close. We discuss the events of the day including local stuff. One guy knows all the live entertainment options. Good to know. After that I stopped at the store for a few things and made a few deli impulse purchases. I need to remember not to go to store hungry.

DH is at our new dentist. It will be interesting to see how he likes her. I have a lot of work scheduled so I will be interested. I asked him this morning what was going to be done and he did not know. Geez. Well Bonnie I am pretty sure he did not swallow a crown. What a fright for you!

Liz glad that appointment is scheduled and fairly soon. Sending good vibes.

So Ann, you are now living in Motel Hell? Sorry for that. Sounds icky plus sick. If you do eat worms at least add sour cream or bbq sauce. Or better yet get well and go home. Once I stayed at a pretty cruddy biker motel while at a dog show. My dog went under the bed and found a greasy steak bone....

Jeepers Peps are you really thinking about dual citizenship? What is the world coming to? Wise of you to count your blessings. We all have a lot.

Finally got the final gallery lease doc. This started last June. These people are nuts.

DD sorry to hear you are getting one of the famous midwestern storms. Stinging rain! Hope they call the whole day. But freedom is close!

Well time to do something useful such as go to gym. Two little eaglets are hatched in Big Bear and they are priceless.

Diane S

I think this weather system impacting us all is covering a huge swath of the country. It's raining here, and predicted to become snow after sundown. It's cold, stinging rain right now at 39 degrees. So far our school system called a 2 hour late start. Yeah!!! I can watch Colbert and I get to sleep in tomorrow. If the 42 mile an hour wind does show up, they might have to call the whole day.

Peps, what EU citizenship can you apply for? I have friends who would meet the requirement for Spain, and another for Switzerland. Another friend Italy, because their grandfather was born there, but a friend whose grandmother was Sicilian could not. Apparently in Italy, citizenship flows from the paternal line, not maternal. I once checked out if we could repatriate to Finland, but I'm 3rd generation. My Dad could though, all of his grandparents were born in Finland, and you only need one. And I am so, so sorry you are even having to think about the rise of hate. Those fanning the hate: Despicable. And many other things that will just get censored if I type them out.

When we travel abroad, we are often mistaken for Canadians. We joke that we are going to wear maple leaf lapel pins in future travels. But maybe we're not joking. Where will we be from? Thunder Bay, just across the border from Minnesota.

Liz, good news your DD has her biopsy scheduled. I wi**** could be sooner so you all could have the answers you urgently need.

Miss 150, I would love to go to your church sale. I bet it is full of treasures.

We had an awesome phone call with our son and his girlfriend last night. We have a weekend visit planned for the 14th, and his girlfriend shared plans they were making and asking if we would like this or that. Her options were so thoughtfully and clearly tailored to our interests. DS is so happy. They each have their own apartment right now, but have signed a lease for a shared apartment in July. I like they are planning for a future together.

Eating worms, well at least it is protein. I've done The Stay America Hotel in the past and it is exactly as you describe. Hope you both feel better soon, and the Stay America Hotel is quickly in the rear view mirror.

128.6. In my range! Yippy!

Upped my speed to 3.5 with 2-5% grade intervals today for 40 minutes and it felt good! I might increase the grade a bit by the end of the week. What I really should do is repeat the hard DVD with all the squats that made me sore for days!

Other than exercise, the day has been full of internet scrolling (such a time waster), bible study and laundry! Scallops with pasta for dinner. I was going to make cheesy grits but when I took the top off the grits to see if there was enough for dinner, I dropped the container and the kitchen floor and then Dyson got our dinner grits!

My heart hurts for you and the entire LGBTQ + community. I can't imagine needing a backup country to live in because mine doesn't recognize me as a human! I joked around with Trump's first election that if he were to be elected (I truly thought there was no chance in Hell) that I was going to move to Canada. That threat is sounding better to me every day (except I may have to pick someplace warmer!)

Scary times for sure.

BTW I think ALL good partners are likely "loving (and at times trying)".
